I use to love the Carol Burnett Show

Good one, Wifey!

Me too...I use to watch them every week. Tim Conway and Harvey Korman (I think I spelled that right) we're just totally hilarious. I loved it when they would do a skit...and couldn't hold a straight face while doing it. Yep...back in the days of TRUE comedy! You know, I really miss those kinds of shows...

I love Sailor Jerry Rum, too. Set two extra seats at the table, Bri.

I haven't tried Sailor Jerry's yet...I must need to get out more! I have heard it's taaasty though... To my taste buds though...it's hard to beat a good top shelf single barrel bourbon. Mmmmm. Nectar of the Gods.

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

My mother had an old one too. Her house was built in 1792, and had the big old radiators and steam heat. The carousel sat on that, (without candles, or they would have melted), and the heat from the radiator made the carousel turn.

VERY Cool Kathi!

I LOVE OLD HOUSES! There's just something about them that speak to your soul....We have quite a few (1860's - 1890's) in the town of Sanford, Fl. Sadly, many have fallen into disarray and been turned into boarding houses. A sad waste of history, IMO....BUT truly expensive to maintain!

Entry #2

Bing Crosby was my grandmother's favorite Christmas performer and Silver Bells was her favorite Christmas song. The LP cover shown in the video is what was played. I loved the whole album so much that I took it to school one time for Show and Tell. It was one of the first LPs I ever bought, and I also have the CD.





First performed by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell in the 1950 film "The Lemon Drop Kid" released in 1951. The first recorded version was by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards in 1950.

Good one, VG!

Bing's crooning vocals and his signature pipe are a true symbol of Christmas in my mind. My Mom LOVED Bing! Makes the house feel "Christmas-y" she use to say...

VG...I have a little tree like that now. It came with lights and a ton of little ornaments. One year I had told a friend that I wasn't having a tree because I was the only one there. She felt it was her duty to get me a tree. It hangs in my closet in a garbage bag until time to set it up. I always think of her. Funny thing is that it takes as long to decorate it as it did the big tree. Then I will smile and sit down to look at it and see an ornament next to another that I don't like, have to go fix that and sit down again... that process is repeated most of the holiday season it seems.

Kathi... got up to about 5 inches of really wet and heavy snow. It is still coming down really hard.

I don't mind quick and easy meals as long as it tastes fairly good. It is even better knowing I am not going to be spending the entire day in the kitchen cooking and cleaning which means that I will be able to watch football. I am not much for pro ball ....I like college football.......but still beats cooking and cleaning.

"Snoopy's Christmas" is a song performed by The Royal Guardsmen in 1967. It continues to be played as a holiday favorite on most "oldie" radio stations, however is also often played on radio stations playing a Hit Music format as well as Adult Contemporary format stations. While these stations wouldn't normally play music from this era radio stations will make exceptions to mix certain Christmas songs with the usual playlist during the Holiday period. Due to a chart department policy instituted by Billboard magazine, the "Snoopy's Christmas" single never appeared in the Hot 100.

In 2014, a New Zealand member of The International Military Music Society and The Passchendaele Society, Gavin Marriott of Christchurch, came up with an idea of commemorating the centenary of the historical origins of this song. It was promoted to play or sing 'Snoopy's Christmas' before Christmas dinner in people's homes in honour of an event which could have changed the world.

Christmas during my first year of college was an unusual one. I woke up Christmas Day to discover a stocking filled with prophylactics and my Dad belatedly stumbling through the Talk. "Kinda figured it all out, Dad."

This one always reminds me about the ones who don't have it as good as we do today.....things were really tough during the winters...and not all the places to go for help.....not that you would because that took away any pride you had..

always loved this song
it was a story about guy he knew slightly. He was a man who had lost both his legs above the knee and — in those pre-miracle artificial limbs days — had his leg stumps covered with heavy leather padding and wore thick gloves to pull and slide and scoot his way up and down the sidewalk by the palms of his hands and on his stumps.

He sold pencils from a tin cup affixed to his back and also peddled paper and ribbons at Christmas time, as he recalled. He mainly worked the sidewalks by Leonard’s Department Store in Fort Worth, Texas,

I love the full sound of the orchestra in this....I know it's good since many people use it as their wedding song....

I didn't grow up with much Doo Wop music but have some friends that still think there is nothing else... I remember mom having a couple of albums but I wasn't allowed to touch them.

Good one!

I can see why folks would use it as their wedding song. It's very beautiful. All it needs is an Yngwie Malmsteen solo!

Holidays mean travel for a lot of people. I was a resident advisor my senior year in college and had to stay until the very last resident left for the holidays. Final exams were taking place even on December 23, so I didn't actually leave for the airport until about 4 pm. I had $60 in my wallet (and my credit card was already maxed out) and I was already exhausted from studying for my final that morning. As is often the case, the weather took a toll on air traffic that year and flights were being delayed and cancelled left and right. I ended up taking six different flights to get home: little hops from one city to another, usually with an hour or two between them. The morning of December 24th, found me in Las Vegas with $3 left in my pocket (I'd been buying food and hanging out in the airport bars to stay awake) and desperately trying to keep my eyes open so that I didn't miss my next flight. I ended up using $2.75 on quarter slots in the airport... and the last $0.25 was saved so that I could call my parents to come and pick me up at the airport. My luggage didn't fare so well--it arrived two days before I had to return back to school.
